CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.
Care Types in This Table AL (Assisted Living): Housing with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, without 24-hour skilled nursing. NH (Nursing Home): 24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs. SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility): Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness. MC (Memory Care): Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. RC (Respite Care): Short-term temporary care that gives family caregivers a break. IL (Independent Living): Community living with dining, activities, and transportation for active seniors who need little personal care. HOS (Hospice Care): Comfort-focused care for those with a terminal illness, prioritizing quality of life over treatment. PC (Palliative Care): Comfort-focused care for serious illness at any stage, including alongside curative treatment.
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The Georgia average is: 54.8% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.

Overview of Autumn Breeze Healthcare Center

Operated by owner Ronald Gooden, Autumn Breeze Healthcare Center is a 109-bed nursing home on Sandtown Road in Marietta, Georgia. Operating for eight years, the two-story building serves residents requiring skilled nursing care. It welcomes Medicare and private pay coverage, giving families another route to cover longer-term residential care. The facility currently maintains about 43 percent occupancy with an average resident stay of just over 331 days. This mirrors a blend of people recuperating from acute episodes and those settling in for ongoing nursing support.

Daily care is staffed with a nursing team providing roughly 2 hours 49 minutes of total nursing care per resident day, consisting of nurse aide time, licensed practical nurses, and registered nurses. That staffing mix anchors the home’s ability to manage resident needs in a residential setting. Situated in the Marietta area, the facility sits on a street with a Walk Score of 29, so most visiting family members and errands require a brief drive. The surrounding area is quiet and suburban, with Highway 75 within a reasonable distance for trips in and out of the area.

State inspections have noted compliance matters surrounding medication management, care planning, and clinical services delivery, including attention to medication administration practices, staff training, and specialty care such as dental services. These are themes families may want to ask about when touring to know how daily protocols are managed.

An in-person visit by families examining Autumn Breeze Healthcare Center for a loved one is valuable to assess the setting, meet the staff, and discuss any specific care needs. The home’s owner and team can walk interested residents and their families through what daily life looks like and the existing services.

Overview of Pruitthealth – Crestwood

Each resident at Pruitthealth, Crestwood accounts for 3 hours and 42 minutes of nursing in a single day. That is hands-on time, averaged across 79 beds in Valdosta, Georgia. The license names three levels: skilled nursing, memory care, and hospice care.

Memory care here is built around supervision for a person at risk of getting up and walking out, and that risk keeps no schedule. On the skilled nursing side, licensed nurses are on duty when the building is dark.

Hospice care is about controlling pain and breathing rather than treating toward a cure. Rehabilitation is available as well, for a recovery expected to end. A salon runs here, and religious services are on the calendar.

Three routes pay for a stay. Medicare covers skilled care once a hospital has discharged someone, not a permanent address, and Medicaid helps when savings will not stretch. Private pay is money from the resident or the family, and somebody is usually paying while an application moves.

Adriane Spencer is the administrator. A family planning either a temporary rehabilitation stay or ongoing residential nursing care is the one this fits.

Overview of High Shoals Health and Rehabilitation

High Shoals Health and Rehabilitation is a nursing home and assisted living community in Bishop, GA. Nursing home services include nursing and rehabilitation care, while assisted living helps with daily tasks so residents can receive support without moving into a nursing home setting.

With both levels of care available, the community may be a good fit for a resident whose needs could increase over time and who may be able to remain in the same community. Medicare and private pay are accepted, giving families those payment options for eligible services or care costs. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 12 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated to each resident. Brandi Harrison serves as the administrator.

Overview of The Cottages at Rockmart

The Cottages at Rockmart is a 116-bed nursing home in Rockmart, Georgia, offering skilled nursing care. Residents have access to licensed nursing care on site around the clock for medical needs. Rehabilitation therapies cover a full range of services, supporting people who need therapy during recovery or restoration. IV therapies can take place at the facility, rather than requiring those treatments elsewhere.

Pet therapy is also part of the community’s specific programs, giving residents access to visits from therapy animals. Total nurse staffing is 6 hours and 8 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time allocated to each resident. Rhonda Bass serves as administrator. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted: Medicare can cover short-term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid may help when savings do not cover a long stay, and private pay allows a family to pay directly. The Cottages at Rockmart may be a good fit for someone who needs skilled nursing alongside rehabilitation therapies.

Overview of Heritage Inn of Sandersville Health and Rehab

Heritage Inn of Sandersville Health and Rehab offers nursing home and assisted living care in Sandersville, Georgia. Nursing home care provides ongoing nursing support and help with daily needs, while assisted living helps residents with everyday tasks as they continue managing their own routines. Having both care types can suit someone whose needs may increase over time and who may be able to remain in the same community as those needs change.

The home has 60 beds and accepts Medicare and private pay, giving families two payment paths for covered or privately funded care. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 46 minutes per resident each day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated to each resident. Karen McMichael serves as the administrator. A Walk Score of 59 indicates a somewhat walkable area, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to handle certain errands independently.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Georgia

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Georgia?

Assisted living in Georgia is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Georgia Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Georgia Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 211 nursing homes in Georgia. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Georgia?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Georgia, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Georgia?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
